I have been under the care of Dr. Schmalbach for melanoma on my right ear. I am healing very well from the surgery that was needed and feel confident that there is no melanoma remaining. I would highly recommend Dr. Schalmach and Fox Cancer Center to anyone...I have had a very positive experience. You should all be commended.
